[iarejosh1]

[PopBoomBoom]

@iarejosh1 Blindfolds Aside by Protest :)

[metalmongar]

He's such a genious

[18Dizz]

I can't stand how EVERY SINGLE PTH video on Youtube has a caption from some douche saying "OMG... Arif is soooooo high duuuuude" or "Look how stoned Arif is"........ ENOUGH people!!! Yes, its true.... Despite popular belief, most metal musicians (or artists in general, including myself) smoke pot... Settle down kids!!!

[SantaPillsBerry]

Or do you start from a riff? "Arif, hahaha" .

[Sezzthrazz]

I just love to listen to him speak. He flow of words is awesome.

[IGNsucks]

SO MUCH FUCKING RESPECT NOW FOR THIS BAND.............4:33-4:39 IS SO TRUE AND I AGREE ARIF FUCK THOSE POSERS.

[HeavyMetalMushrooms]

As a stoner, I can honestly say he sounds stoned.

[stever199]

i love watching interviews with Arif...

[IsolationInstigation]

Dude... he just seems so well-educated. Aha. Funny "It starts with Arif" Shit I usually pick up on stuff like that hahaha. Funny.

[iratevidscuzicool]

Does anybody know where a video is of this guy just playing bass? I have heard most of the bass tracks I want to hear. I would just love to hear him just play.

[loganressler]

I gained incredible respect for this band as MUSICIANS after hearing this interview, very impressed with the musical maturity.

[IbanezRocks60]

3:44-4:40= probably the most true statement about metal today.

[OmgSoBr00tal]

Arif seems hella chill.

[SpinachInquisition]

It's so funny how that chick goes "I'm here with A-reef..." and you can just see his face go "yeeeah... that's not how it's pronounced".

[Destructerator]

he is fucking blazed

[shrederiffic2380]

[MetalYouWannaHear]

BTBAM, The Human Abstract, and especially PTH coming out with new music in 2010! I don't know If i can handle all this!!!!

[applexxcore]

songwriting starts with Arif.

[fatalmurder]

He's still fatter,

[BanJoseph]

What he said about the bands they toured with, it's so true. I saw him with some bands where you go, "What the hell are they doing touring with them?" I can't wait for this album.
